Where to Vote

Vote Early or on Election Day

California law allows voters to cast their ballot during the 29-day period prior to Election Day and on Election Day. You may cast your ballot via mail or vote in person on paper or using the ballot marking tablet. Each Vote Center will contain English, Spanish, and Chinese ballots as well as a reference ballot in Burmese, Filipino, Hindi, Japanese, and Korean for certain precincts.
